i’m only a few weeks into my pregnancy and already it feels like i am living my worst nightmare! from week 4 i have had nausea constantly 24/7!
i am taking the pregnacare tablets and meclozine B6 tablets, constantly eating small snacks but nothing helps!
i hate feeling like this and it makes me more emotional and depressed wishing i never got pregnant! i can’t remember the last time i slept well, have the most uncomfortable nights and i am sick of vomitting all the time and then the chest pains, cramps, sharp abdominal pains and stomach pains come straight after.
i am working and studying and i try to keep my mind distracted in those things but i feel like quitting work as i am always rushing off to the toilets to vomit. i vomit 6-7 times a day and my face has become so thin.
i don’t eat junk food, tea, coffee, soft drinks etc. i munch on hummus with carrot or cucumber sticks, eat lots of fruits or veggies, salads, cous-cous etc but that all comes out. i used to love milk and dairy products but since becoming pregnant i hate milk!
sorry for moaning so much. i don’t know what to do. i feel so upset all the time. how did you women cope with nausea all day? did you guys feel tired and sleepy all the time? how long will this go on for?
All I can tell you is that it does get better for most of us… I couldn’t drink milk or eat yoghurt products coz it would bring abt nausea/vomiting of the worst kind…
Sleep when u are sleepy… I remember it was just tough and a lot of ppl don’t understand or believe you but ur body has just started making another human being so you are going to be drained… just hang in there and keep praying that the baby and you get through to this safely and healthly…
there is a honeymoon phase right around the corner usually after 13 weeks… just look forward to that… eat what u can, just don’t overdo on ur cravings that are unhealthy… all the best… if u wanna vent …feel free to pm me
I too had the worst nausea and to top that I got an infection but didnt want to take anti bioatics and I was coughing my lungs out in the night ... but all I can say, it does go away when u reach the second trimester. (16 Week)
there are some tips in some old threads here, that might help u.
I know EXACTLY how you feel... time seems to slow down and everything turns you off. But Nazar na lage, mashAllah you are eating at least! I managed to lose 4 kg in the first 2 months because i just didn't eat much... still cant eat meat. But like its been mentioned here, it does get better, by the start of the second trimester, inshAllah.
You should seriously talk to your Dr about medication to deal with the nausea, I changed medication twice, and found luck in the third type. I'm on gravinate, it helped me a lot Alhumdulillah.
As for sleep, my God i slept sooo much in my first trimester, like i'd wake up only to want to take a nap 2 hours later... but thats reduced a lot now as well so inshAllah its just a phase for you too.
May Allah SWT make things easy for you, and as upsetting as this may be, plz refrain from wishing you never got pregnant, even in anger. There are those who pray day and night to be blessed with what you've got inside you :)
I can soooo feel your pain. I just started feeling a little better ever since I hit the second trimester. Although my nausea is still there but it's nothing like what it used to be (I still take my nausea medecine). Ask your doctor to prescribe a medecine, Zofran is one of the best although it didn't work for me at all. It might help you though since women out there are calling it the miracle pill.
aww...i was in the same boat a few weeks back...but the minute my 12th week ended it felt like the whole nausea thing was never even a concern. its only been 4 days but all that fatigue n nausea has disappeared. i pray it will be the same for you inshaAllah.
I had very bad nausea during my 1st trimester , I had the worst evening sickness ! Gosh I couldn’t have dinner almost my entire 1st trimester. When second trimester started things got better. My pregnancy couldn’t complete 3rd trimester but things got really better during the 3rd one.
i used to love diary products esp milk and yougurt but now i can't look at that stuff! i forced myself to drink some milk the other day as i know i need the calcium, but within a few mins it all came out. i can't even eat chicken. i just munch on carrots dipped in red pepper hummus all day!
it really feels it has taken over. makes me feel so down. i try going out for a drive or a walk. i've taken the week off work as i womit at least 3 times a day - but i've booked myself in to see my GP. the B6 tablet comes straight out as well, so that doesn't help with the sickness. everyone thinks i have lost so much weight esp on my face! even i got scared when i looked at my face in the mirror! my cheeks have shrunk inside!!
but how did you all cope with the constant nausea? what did you do to help yourself cope?
Well medication helps a lot,so ask your doctor for something, for my second pregnancy, the nausea got better only after week 22. There are also home remedies like dried apricots ( khoobani), Mentos ( candy), ginger ale and also something called preggo pops sold at maternity stores.
What you’re describing is totally normal. I thought I would never enjoy food again. I was so miserable, even the second time when I KNEW things would get better.
It’s funny too because suddenly, it all just goes away!
It’s all part of the baby letting you know you’re not the one in control anymore.
Talk to your doctor if you’re having trouble keeping anything down, especially fluids. There are ways to help.
For those who have said they were in the same boat - that is very punny …
They usually happen between 3 weeks to 2.5 months - you might feel a bit better with a bit of mental concentration coupled with a bit of angry determination …
And I’m not sure if it works - but salt and lemon - or imly might work …
Yup. Welcome to pregnancy!
As others have said, hang in there. It DOES get better eventually!
In the meantime, do whatever you need to, in order to feel better.
a little bleeding when I go to washroom after urine I saw 5 to 6 times . is it normal as my 1st trimester ends . my doc said its worry should not be . I’m very much upset . plz pray for me
^ lightly toasted saunf helped me a lot! i used to carry around a little plastic baggie and eat it when needed.
i know mint tea has helped others. no harm in trying either.
